Dan’s Red Sea XXL 750 Build

Awesome build !! Does the Artfully lid have any braces in it or does it have one 5 foot mesh? Can you post a pic thanks[/QUOTE)

Thanks, no braces, all CNC machined acrylic around with all the routing for feed door/doors, apex AFS, and over flow, or mounts for lights if you want, it has little tabs that keep it on the top of the glass while the lid sits a little inside of tank so the top is flush. Yes a 6 foot piece of mesh splined in, but let me tell you what a top notch looking lid in my option the best (of course the price tag), but that kinda quality is priceless. I will get u pics as soon as I can.

Yea, for the small space and 20 battery supply’s with 12 apex FMM, did pretty good, I hate wires! Need everything Bluetooth! One day.

Impressive! How is your ATO setup...I see a float valve, assuming you have your RODI setup as "always on" and will fill the container on demand, or do you just fill when low? Assuming not the latter as you can't see it to see the water level unless you pull all of the electronic panels off.

Top magnet sensor and bottom magnet sensor, with an apex solenoid, to refill the container, float is a back up! Yes pressure always on!

Worked on the tank finally this weekend! Had my chiller originally installed with flex tubing and clamps so did a big installation of a uv ultraviolet 57 watt sterilizer into a cabinet next to my tank which will hold my cal reactor and HK monitor, that I still need to install. Here are some pics!

Next thing hook up the cal reactor, and hk monitor, rearrange my rockscape, hook up dosers, stable all water parameters, and get my lights set, then gonna add some WWC sps frags next month!

Ha, Sounds about like how my build is coming along. I think I have spent every spare moment setting things up for the past two months now. Go to work then come home and work on the tank.

Maybe one day we will just be able to sit back, enjoy the tank and relax.

 

[Dan Snyder]

That and endless money ! As we both hope yes one day sit back and enjoy

What is the plastic you used there on the UV that is clear? Is it UV safe, because most plastics break down when exposed to high levels of UV?

Where did you get that white cabinet next to the tank?
